They are all very inexperienced and young. Oldest being 19.
Richard Faayke is the oldest. He is big and powerful and in the Kevin Austin mould. Reasonable quick but beef rather than skill. Ash Williams did OK.
Jack Fanning and Brogan Popham are up from the U18. I have not seen them but both ars big lads 6 ft 2in + but only 17 and 18. Popham was linked to Premier league clubs a few months back.
Swansea moved on Brandon Cooper who Martin used on occasions. He signed for Leyton Orient. He was 20-21 and a bit more developed.
It is unfathomable why Williams did not start Abdullai and show some faith in the academy players.
Swansea make the same mistake every year of getting teenage centre backs who are not trusted. Rhys Williams 18. the Man city guy Burns 17 and now Abbey. What is the point?
It completely highlights the shocking management of this football club over the last few years that we’ve entered a season with only two senior centre backs. Both of whom were at the time running out of contract. No forward planning, no contingency. It’s been a total shambles and it needs to improve with these new owners.
